Part: Headlight bulb

How to change the bulbs on a VW Polo? Let's see how to remove the bulbs from the front headlights. Locate the inspection cover of the headlamp (located at the rear of the headlamp) and remove it. Once here, you will find the bulbs with the bulb holders: pull the bulb holders out of the headlamp and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver. Insert the bulb holder back into the headlamp housing. Test the operation of the new bulbs, then close the rear of the headlamp with the cover cap.
